Following various financial goings-on Wigan’s chairman Dave Whelan has decided to rename his side’s stadium ‘The DW Stadium’.
Now I think it’s fair to say that this must be the dullest and least intimidating name for any football stadium anywhere in the world. I mean, a ground named after a balding, grey-haired, toothless old man is hardly going to get fans excited or opponents quivering, is it?
No you don’t get the lap dance, but we are inviting you to pick your England team!
With perhaps the exception of Sepp Blatter and Phil Brown, the great thing about football is that everyone has their opinion. For us at 90minutesonline an article without your comments and opinions is like a transfer window without a new signing - or a World Cup without England. So on that note.
This week the 90minutesonline team got together to share our ideas on who and how we think Capello should send the boys out next week. We're inviting you to slate and debate them, or even better send in your own lineup for us to do likewise.
Let us know your thoughts on our selections and if you send a .jpeg file of your England team using the BBC Squad Selector we’ll post it up on the site (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.).
After a highly successful second week our Spot the Ball competition returns for more of your wild guesses.
Last week’s winner was…nobody, because none of you halfwits guessed square J3.
Pep Guardiola's Barcelona manage to trump Liverpool’s 5-0 trouncing with a 6-0 victory of their own, whilst Juande Ramos gets the right foot but perhaps the wrong man?
Real Madrid were hoping to pile the pressure on Barcelona with a home win against Almeria that would take them, temporarily at least, to within 3 points of the league leaders.
A top Klaas Jan Huntelaar helped them do just that with yet another brace. The Dutch striker, a January arrival at the Bernabeu, has really made the lead striker role his own with some superb form of late. In fact his 8 goals in the last 6 games have left many Madrileños wondering if perhaps Ramos got it wrong by sacrificing Huntelaar instead of Diarra in their recent ill fated Champions League campaign.
When can a chest be mistaken for a hand?
a) In the midst of a steamy Kama Sutra led romp?
or
b) In the 73rd minute of a cup final between Sporting and Benfica?
I’ll grant you that a) is an outside possibility, but the answer last night turned out to be b) as Sporting were not just robbed but completely humiliated by yet another atrocious decision by a Portuguese referee.
